WASHINGTON — President Trump did not order a slowdown in coronavirus testing because he wanted to depress the nation’s infection rate, top officials of the White House coronavirus task force said in congressional testimony on Tuesday.
Testing remains an important means of understanding how the disease is spreading in communities. Public health officials are especially concerned with positivity rates, that is, how many of those tests show new coronavirus infections. “You know testing is a double-edged sword,” Trump told the 6,000 or so people gathered for his first campaign rally since early March. “You're going to find more people; you're going to find more cases,” he went on to say of the 27 million diagnostic tests that have been administered across the nation .
“I don’t kid,” he told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, just as Fauci and others were preparing to testify on Capitol Hill.
I trust Fauci...not.
Really
I’m sure that’s what he was scripted to say
No, he just had it defunded in various places....
Every Expert from The WH Team said Exactly the same thing in testimony this morning, actually said the opposite, they are ramping up testing
